Toothfairy you have outdone yourself, standing ovation from me for all these links. I wish this thread could be pinned as this is the most critical information that I got from here that I DIDN'T get from the therapist but is the KEY to full recovery. I am seeing evidence of that now. Thanks for taking the time to post Toothfairy, the time you take to do this is appreciated.

Hi donotdespair,Thanks for the note!I am so happy you found them useful, and even more delighted that you are reaping the rewards. It was the same for my Son and so many other people that I know,The higher bmi/weight, and at least 30% fats in the meals were the key to real recovery for us , We had to go to much higher weight and BMI than was set by the Professionals...My Son would never have recovered at a BMI of 19 , it is ridiculous.I have seen this time and time again.Best wishes.__________________Son,DX with AN, (purging type) in 2015 ,had 4 months immediate inpatient,then FBT at home since.
